The Guest Book.

Feb 09, 2005

I’m not sure if this is going to be helpful or not, but I’m the kind of person to throw gasoline on a fire. sometimes it puts the fire out, sometimes it just makes it worse. In other words, this is proably going to offend most of you.
The Guest Book. It was originally intended to be a place for people to leave comments or little messages for us while we were out on tour. It served its purpose, and we are greatful for it. But then something happend. It became a hotbed of negitivity and name calling. If this was in the official forums, the offending parties would have been banned, the post moderated and everything kept nice and civil.
But it isn’t part of the official forums. Its on the blog site, and that makes it mine and mine alone. I don’t have to run things by anyone else to make a change in the background of the page. And the guest book is most definalty background. I’ve been considering for over a month if I should just trash the guest book, and point all the commenting over to the ofical forums. Make everyone play by the rules over there. I think it would be a little more pleasent it you had to deal with the fact that the bords are moderated and dseverly enforced. Mostly by the other memebers, long before one of the moderators has to step in.
I don’t know what I’m going to do right now. but expect a change. and proably one that is less pleasent for you, the readers.
